Caribbean Travel Marketplace

Caribbean Travel Marketplace 2027

Dates: May 18-21, 2027 | Destination: Barbados | Organizer: Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association (CHTA)

Caribbean Travel Marketplace (CTM) is the Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association's flagship annual business event. Over two days of structured business meetings, it gives Caribbean tourism suppliers the opportunity to meet face-to-face with wholesalers from around the world selling Caribbean vacation travel. Unlike a typical trade show, its main aim is for suppliers and buyers to conduct negotiations that benefit the Caribbean region. The event is open to qualifying Suppliers, Buyers, and Travel Advisors.

Linkages Showcase

A newer component launched at the May 2026 edition in Antigua and Barbuda, designed to link tourism with the agriculture, manufacturing and creative sectors. It features a dedicated pavilion with 20 display tabletops; registration costs $150 for CHTA members and $350 for non-members, subject to a qualification and approval process. Attractions and certain service providers are excluded.
